A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

My Class A has a HUGE snowcap on it ... and I'm wondering if I should move it south for the winter. That snow is VERY heavy and I know that makes the rig far exceed its carrying capacity. Found a place that charges $40 a month storage.

Feedback?

I'd go wayyyyy south and I'd be in it!

Altho $40 a month for covered storage (w/electric?), is a very good price, reading between the lines, me thinks you are getting hitch itch!?

yea, what she said

I'm one of those who would want to head south in it. But I'm thinking that isn't what you're asking. You didn't say if this is inside or outside storage - covered if outside? Or is it just further south where the weather won't be as bad? Where do you want the rv to be? What is most convenient for you? And if it's currently at your house, could you have an rv covered storage area put in? Just some different ideas.

But, yeah, south and in it sounds really the best.

Thinking about moving it down to St. George? Think that would be good and then it's just a short drive down to Quartzsite

Yeah, maybe I do have a case of hitch itch. But I'm not going to travel in the MH until March. It would be in un-covered storage in the southwestern Utah desert, where I got a condo last summer. So I would simply bring the RV with me for the winter and take off from there for my spring trip northwest.

I suspect I'd have to take the RV to a car wash to blow the snow off the top before I go out on the road. We got about 2+ feet of snow here, and now it's all compacting up there. It would take some effort -- and quarters -- to get most of it off.

Hey Janice!

You could always go here!!!

Let them do the work. Not sure of the prices in Salt Lake but you could call them and ask.

I've thought about taking my RV there before. The prices aren't all that bad.

I use Blue Beacon's all the time. They do a good job and reasonably priced. They don't touch my roof, tho. (Don't do trucker's roofs either.) Maybe they'd be willing to run the hose on it for you, though, long enough to get rid of the snow.

It warmed up here enough for about two-thirds of the snow to melt off. So no harm, no foul. Maybe I'll set up a space heater inside.

now now now, just jump in the rv and blow the snow off yourself with "navigational"
head on wind. I'd say at 65mph, that snow would be blown off in no time.
We cleaned off all our snowy roofs on the bus back in Colorado that way even
at 35mph we left a blizzard on the cars behind us with all our snow. Gives a new
dimension to the term "eat my dust" it was "eat my snowdust"

I don't know about how the highway patrol feels about RV's 'blowing' the snow off the roofs using the wind??? But now days if a truck has a snow covered or ice covered roof and it comes off and causes an accident??? The trucker gets a ticket for it. ICE?? I would be really careful there as it could go thru a windshield.
